I was raised up in Hobson City. It does not take a genius to figure out that drugs are the revenue of the town. What is the county sheriff office doing about this problem? NOTHING! You got people walking around and you know theres a warrant out for them but who cares. You got people who are such good friend with the surrounding police department that they can get away with anything as long as their hustle is not interfered with.If the county really wanted or cared enough to save the town, they would do their jobs accordingly.

I have to agree and disagree. The county s.o. is under staffed and the local and state judicial system is blind and jails are over populated as well. Donate to the sheriffs office or local pd to help funds for these issues. 130,000 people in the county and no way to take care of them all. Hobson City has to be handled by arrests without a doubt but they cant. Now the surrounding local pd.......what a shame. The mayor runs it and the chief follows his lead.

So, think about it, who's fault does that be????

I'm sorry to say that the citizens of Hobson City have just as much rights to resolve this matter themselves too. It depends upon how badly they want to rid their little city of all the undesirables (which includes their local justice - which in my eyes, is a joke). People remember you have rights too. Learn the law. Make a move. Get involved not turn a blind eye and wait for paid officials to do it.
